“Forget what you have been told by the world that you deserve better and that it is supposed to be easier. Stop complaining about your lot in life and the cards you have been dealt. Your life is no worse than any other man’s.”

“For most of the Ancients, freedom was freedom from our natural desires and material needs. It rested on a mastery of these deep, natural urges in favor of self-control, restraint, and education into virtue.”
